having watched the storyboard thing from the other thread, and reading the overview from the comic reviews, i really want to get hold of all these issues, has there (or is there in the near future) a collectors volume with all 3 in one big book, or does anyone know anywhere that might have the back orders for it???

i wouldnt count on it, especially as volume 3 hasnt even been completed(only the firs 3 issues have been done)!

Sat Jan 26, 2008 10:24 am

i thought it had been done and dusted already, they have a description in the reviews so i thought it mustve been done :oops:

I have seen volumes 1 & 2, but not 3.

as i said only issues 1,2 and 3 were ever completed for volume 3 (which is bloody typical cause it was really starting to pick up the pace). what makes it worse is that trying to find any of these 3 issues is like trying to ice at the beach! i speak from experience as i've only got issues 1 and 3!

im hoping there next issues for vol 3 are being worked on though??

we all do but the chance of that happening are 0 as dreamwave no longer exixts! all we can hope for is that IDW pick up the rights to it and finish it off!

I ordered both 1 and 2 with absolutely no problem from Booksamillion.com. Heck, I even got the extra 10% off for being in the military. I payed less than $14 an issue by the end of it, I believe.

Probably your best bet for Vol 1 & 2 of the war within is through ebay. Vol 2 is pretty cheap, however, vol 1 does sometimes come with a high price tag. If your search abilities are good, however, you can often see people selling their ENTIRE Dreamwave comic collection for pretty cheap... including the individual issues for the War Within.

Vol 3 was never put into trade due to several reasons: :-B

1) Dreamwave went bankrupt. Ergo, the story stopped.

2) Many of the people working on the comic were never PAID for their work. So, there would be some hard feelings on reissuing work that wasn't properly paid for.

3) Reissuing an incomplete comic makes very little sense. It just brings up lots of "why can't you finish it?" questions, which brings me to my next point...

4) The story itself is tied up in legal battles as to who owns the rights to the story. Same as with the Dreamwave G1 story. IDW can properly reissue older Dreamwave comics that were put into trades, but not "loose" issues that still have financial legal problems attached to them.

Could IDW end all this problem by spending alot of money to "buy" the rights to it? Yes, but...

5) The cost to recover the rights to reissue a story that is not really set in the IDW universe would not cover the profit that the comic would make.

While I love the War Within, and would love to see this last story finished, I think the money could be better spent on creating NEW old Cybertron stories in the IDW universe, such as they attempted with Stormbringer and Megatron: Origins.

I wish they did finish the story for volume 3, since the girls were coming in all. And what the hell was the "connection" with Starscream and Megatron? Oh, I just wish I knew what DW had in mind. That's too bad many didn't get paid for their work, that's awful.
